Please Look after This Bear: A Story of Love, Courage, Growth, and Understanding

Cline, Zulmara

Multicultural Education, v12 n2 p48-50 Win 2004

Recently, the author heard a white male talk show host on the radio discussing the "awful" plight of Latinas because their families don't expect them to achieve and don't have goals for their girls to go to do well in school and go to college. He believed that all Latino families wanted their girls to start families and be good mothers, aspiring to nothing else. Thus, as a Latina, the author shares a story of love, courage, growth and understanding to let others understand what their families want for them and to let others understand the strength and courage their culture provides for them and how.
